Silver Triennial International
20th Worldwide Competition
The 20th Silver Triennial International demonstrates the variety of silversmithing works at a high level: 121 silversmiths from 21 countries submitted hollow- and flatware or free-formed works. Text in English and German.
Since 1965, the Association for Goldsmiths' Art and the German Goldsmiths' House Hanau have been organising the Silver Triennial International to promote contemporary silversmithing. The 20th competition demonstrates the variety of works at a high level: 121 silversmiths from 21 countries submitted hollow- and flatware or free-formed works. The focus is not only on technical and artistic aspects; a large number of the entries also have a socio-critical and contemporary historical background.
An expert jury was again assembled this year: Dirk Allgaier, head of Arnoldsche Art Publishers, Stuttgart; Dr. Claudia Banz, curator for design at the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin; and JaKyung Shin, silversmith and assistant professor at Seoul National University, Korea, selected 67 impressive silver works.
